On The Split-up Folk Rap And Singing Of Water Margin In The Qing Dynasty

During the Qing Dynasty,the story of Water Margin continued to spread,and the 100-Chapter version of "Water Margin" became classical.During this period,various artisti c styles participated in the activities of retelling stories and disseminating classics.The "Water Margin" folk rap was one of the important forces.In the past,the academia paid more attention to the rap works which were produced and disseminated before the 100-Chapter "Water Margin" because they participated in th e "book-making" process of the novel and were regarded as the key coordinates reflectin g the evolution of the story and the formation of the "ultimate text".As for the rap works produced and disseminated after the 100-Chapter edition of Water Margin,little attention has been paid to them.Most scholars tend to regard them as the products under the influ ence of the 100-Chapter edition,and there are few elements worthy of attention in the asp ects of ideological connotation and artistic characteristics.It is certainly reasonable to look at the adaptations of later generations from the perspective of 100-Chapter edition,which will also help to strengthen the classical images of 100-Chapter edition,but this should not be the only posture for us to examine,that is,the works produced and disseminated after 100-Chapter edition.Although most of them are based on fiction,they also tend to perform stories step by step,one by one short and vague figures are concealed.Hidden in the novel's huge halo,but as a whole,they should be paid attention to,and get a more in-depth investigation and analysis.More importantly,rap is another "style" different from fiction in the final analysis.From "desk" to "field",even the lazy adapter must adjust the original "desk" story in different aspects(structure,character,plot,time,space,etc.)to adapt to the needs of "field" performance.This important literary phenomenon should not be covered up by our habitual "discourse hegemony" centered on 100 chapters.Therefore,this paper represented by Guci,Tanci and Zidishu,respectively from the perspective of style,style and narration,to investigate their general laws and personality characteristics in restating and rebuilding the stories of the Water Margin.The full text is divided into three chapters.The first chapter analyses the stylistic features of the three styles,mainly from the aspects of space structure,sentence structure,rhyme and so on,and inspects their "same but different" stylistic forms.The third chapter analyses the stylistic characteristics of the three styles,focusing on the shift of the balance between elegance and vulgarity.Chapter IV turns to the narrative point of view to analyze the narrative characteristics of "Water Margin" rap from three aspects:narrative focus,characterization and plot structure.The appendix is the overview of the text preservation of the "Water Margin" rap.With the help of comprehensive and specialized bibliographies,we try our best to search,in order to provide a more complete and reliable "database" for the relevant research.Generally speaking,the number of Guci of "Water Margin" in the Qing Dynasty as large,they are widely spread,and the theme types are rich.Most of the popular texts in the Qing Dynasty are pure rhyme short stories in the form of "one body".They prefer heroic stories.They are good at using vulgar and plain language to "secularized" the characters,and their artistic temperament tends to be "light and vulgar" as a whole.The Qing Dynasty's "Water Margin" Tanci are scattered,showing obvious regionalism,preferring those heroic stories of romantic,integrating strong subjective consciousness into the creation,so that the text is highly lyric,the characters are more "humanlizition".Under the influence of Kunqu opera,the language is both vivid and elegant,showing the characteristics of "elegance" in the overall style.In Qing Dynasty,Water Margin Zidishu tended to describe the feelings of the world and human.Through the artistic treatment of landscape language and heart language,the article became both elegant and vulgar,and the characters tended to be diversified.As for the narrative structure,all three have adapted the stories of the Water Margin more or less,usually based on the common ways of adding,deleting and modifying of folk literature and art.Compared with novels and operas,the narrative logic of "Water Margin" rap is more "grounded" and can vividly reflect folk wisdom.
